Lamine Yamal (6/10):
Came on with just 19 minutes of normal time to go and although he looked dangerous, he couldn’t save Spain from an embarrassing result.
Mikel Merino (6/10):
Introduced alongside Yamal and nearly netted the winner with a good effort that was brilliantly blocked by Pico Lopes.
Dani Olmo (6/10):
Replaced the ineffective Ferran for the final 10 minutes and created a great late chance for Merino.
Nico Williams (x/10):
Just like Yamal, made his eagerly-awaited return from injury late on, but unable to make an impact.
Luis de la Fuente (3/10):
The Euro 2024-winning coach is going to absolutely slated for this shameful showing – and rightly so. Spain didn’t play with anything like the required intensity and while injuries may have influenced his selections, the decision to start Gavi was absurd in the circumstances. De la Fuente now has to pray that Yamal is fully fit to start Spain’s next game, against Saudi Arabia, because, as this game proved, they’re lost with him.
